It’s either this or we go outside, but the sun is out there. And people.

For a while vendors tried to lock down the BIOS pretty hard. Dell might still, I remember having to call and get assistance when a password was forgotten and they had to generate a backdoor key of some sort. Maybe that is less of a thing now that Bitlocker is widely used on corporate laptops and it is sensitive to tampering.

In the past they had jumpers for the same purpose.

What fediverse services are set up that way? For most projects, the flagship instance is by far the largest. For Mastodon it is something like 900k difference between the next most popular instance.

It’s unfortunate if the sh.itjust.works folks aren’t speaking, their listed rules seem pretty reasonable and the problem users appear to be breaking the rules of that instance too.

Communities have moderators too.

Who is “they”? The users, or the communities? Beehaw creates the communities, that’s why there are relatively few, so I don’t see that Beehaw communities would have much reason to move anyway. Beehaw has no create community button.

Yeah I think it is. If you go to settings you can change the default (under “Type”).

Not really. Usually you have to request the community vs creating it yourself. Allows the admins to curate.

There’s a good chance your account was activated. I don’t think notifications were going out for a bit.

This has to be the first time I’ve seen someone praising reddit search, as opposed to a search engine.

Try changing the type to what you’re looking for. By default it will show all. Otherwise I’m not too sure what the issue is, if I search “brining up Reddit” this post is the result.

That’s kind of the point. Reddit still benefits from that content.
